Barnes had a nomadic childhood; her family relocated from England to Germany when she was 10, before moving to France then Portugal. “Having to adapt to new cultures and new languages definitely broadened my horizons and made me a very independent person,” she explains. “Being the half Jamaican-British kid, I've learnt to embrace my uniqueness. I thrive on change and new experiences.”

“For as long as I can remember I've always been obsessed with dancing and every single dance movie… It's still one of my favourite things, I love that you can zone everything out during that one hour of class and release some serious endorphins.”

When it comes to style Barnes leans towards the 90s, with an oversized jacket and Dr. Martens in tow. “It’s by far my favourite decade music and style-wise,” she says. “I'm usually wearing one oversized item, whether it's a … sweater or baggy pants. And I love me a cinched high waist.” She lives by a mantra to “not take things too seriously, and make everything as fun as possible”, and looks up to the ones she knows best.

“I guess I look up to my friends and members of my family because they all possess certain traits that inspire me and that I admire,” she explains. “My mum is the most logical thinker I know, she always put things into perspective and if there's ever a problem, will work out a solution like a little human calculator.”
